Advertising can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”.Advertising aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest.It tries to inform. and to persuade.The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method.Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market.The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets.Television, although more expensive, can be very effective.Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction.Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.
We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the consumer.Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising.However, if large scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.
It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales.When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand.When the market is shrinking, advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support.What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.

Scientists discovered that atoms of some substances are radioactive. This means that they are unstable and can be split. The chain of splitting atoms releases great destructive energy and it was this discovery which led scientists to develop the idea of an atomic bomb. The American government secretly worked to produce such a bomb and the first version was much more powerful than anyone had thought.
By this time, the World War II had ended in Europe. But the Japanese refused to surrender, the Americans decided that by dropping an atomic bomb on Japan, they could end the war quickly and save more of their soldier’s lives.
Soon after midnight on 6 August 1945, a bomb was dropped on the city of Hiroshima, a civilian target. No warning was given and there was total devastation. Almost all the buildings were destroyed and more than 100000 people died or were horribly wounded.
The Japanese military still did not want to surrender so three days later, the Americans dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki, killing 45000 people. The Japanese government was discussing ending the war when they heard the news of Nagasaki. Finally, they surrendered and the World War II came to an end.
At first, the scientists who had built the bomb were pleased that it had helped to end the war. However, many would come to realize that they had helped to create the most terrible weapon known to man.
The first atomic bomb ______.
A.was less powerful
B.was dropped in Nagasaki
C.was a failure
D.was tested in desert

Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form. of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form. of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally.. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, ,Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form. of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
